Im just wondering whats the weight of an 83 Hatch? Im in Australia and am one of the only lucky owners of one.

 

Just wondering how much lighter it is compared to the other old school body styles.. eg: sedan, wagon, brumby. etc..

Thanks guys

Dave:

 

That's really a good question.

 

Alot depends on what type of emission equipment is required n Austrelia. My guess is you guys probably don't have the pollution problems we have in the US, and that would translate into a lighter vehicle.

 

Another would depend on options. Things like electric window motors don't seem like a lot, but all those gadgets collectively along with the wiring, probably add a few hundred pounds to the car.

 

I've always wanted to strip a Subie down to the bare essentials to see how light I could get it. And to see what those +/- 90 HP's are really capable of doing...

 

good luck, John

my book says 2200 pounds for the 2wd version

and 2400 for the 4x4

 

hatch, right?

everything i have seen says 2200 for my 87, 2wd 5speed, no power anything. compared to my 4x gl wagon, its a world of difference

Thanks for that guys.

 

Anyone got the weights of the other body types?
